Title: Methods of increasing ultrasonic signal reception
Inventor: LAL AMIT
IPC: B06B1/06
Filed: 2020-06-01
Abstract: A transceiver apparatus for maximizing voltage. A voltage booster or transformer is implemented using piezoelectric thin films in substrates, preferably CMOS substrates where active processing of RF signals can lead to highly integrated and inexpensive ICs. The voltage gain is achieved by cascading multiple transducers, formed in the same piezoelectric thin film, or films cascaded in series on top of each other. An array of transducers are connected in parallel or series, connected to the input or output port electrodes. Other approaches include placing the receive transformer in a location where the diffracting field from the transmitter transducer is incident on the receive transducer generating a higher ultrasonic field at the receive transformer and increasing the voltage is to connect an array of transducers, formed in the same layer, or different layers of piezoelectric layer in parallel in drive mode when the pulse is transmitted.

Abstract: A particulate filter disclosed here includes a base material 10 having a wall-flow structure including porous partition walls 16 partitioning inlet cells 12 and outlet cells 14, and wash-coating layers 20 held inside the partition walls 16. The wash-coating layers 20 include inlet layers 22 each formed from a vicinity of an end portion at an exhaust gas inflow side XI to have a predetermined length and a predetermined thickness and outlet layers 24 each formed from a vicinity of an end portion at an exhaust gas outflow side X2 to have a predetermined length and a predetermined thickness. The inlet layers 22 and the outlet layers 24 partially overlap with each other. The inlet layers 22 of the particulate filter contain substantially no noble metal catalyst, and the outlet layers 24 contain a noble metal catalyst. Accordingly, PM collection performance can be easily enhanced in an inlet region, and high gas distributability (pressure loss suppression performance) can be maintained in the outlet region. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a particulate filter capable of achieving high levels of PM collection performance and pressure loss suppression performance.

Abstract: This application provides an antenna and an electronic device that includes the antenna. The antenna includes an antenna body and a feed point and a grounding point that are located on the antenna body. The antenna body includes a first section and a second section that intersect with each other. An electrical length between the feed point and a first end of the antenna body is greater than an electrical length between the feed point and a second end opposite to the first end. The antenna body generates resonance of a second wavelength in a quarter wavelength mode between the feed point and the first end, and the antenna body generates resonance of the second wavelength in a half wavelength mode between the first end and the second end. In this application, mode excitation generated based on the resonance of the second wavelength in the quarter wavelength mode can be enhanced by using the resonance of the second wavelength in the half wavelength mode, so that horizontal mode excitation and vertical mode excitation of the antenna are relatively balanced. Therefore, the antenna can have relatively good radiation performance regardless of whether the electronic device is in free space (FS) or in a handheld state.
